lyrics

Woke up today and I stared outside
How did I get here? How did I get this life?
Grew up, settled down, worked hard day and night
I tried to fit in but I never felt right
Go out, meet friends, make small talk and chat
All the normal shit I was never any good at
People laugh and ask why I’m still singing in this band?

And after all this therapy (Therapy)
For what this life has done to me (Done to me)
All I want for you to see
That it’s bars and scars and guitars for me (Bars and scars and guitars)

I don’t belong I don’t feel trusted
Can’t talk to people I’m mal-adjusted
Can’t make friends maybe I’m just selective
Got to admit I may be defective
All day long songs playing in my head
Go to bed at night think I’m better off dead
It makes me ask why I’m still singing in this band

And after all this therapy (Therapy)
For what this life has done to me (Done to me)
All I want for you to see
That it’s bars and scars and guitars for me (Bars and scars and guitars)

(Woah oh weoh) Well fuck the rules, I got a chip on my shoulder
(Woah oh weoh) I’m not growing up, I’m just getting older

Finally realized the problem’s not me
It’s trying to be a person that I that I can’t be
I’m only happy with a drink in my hand
Surrounded by friends and playing in this band
Trying to be normal is a losing fight
There ain’t nothing wrong with not being quite right
All this just reminds me why I’m still singing in this band

And after all this therapy (Therapy)
For what this life has done to me (Done to me)
All I want for you to see
That it’s bars and scars and guitars for me (Bars and scars and guitars)

(Woah oh weoh) Well fuck the rules, I got a chip on my shoulder
(Woah oh weoh) I’m not growing up, I’m just getting older
(Woah oh weoh) All this time it’s plain to see
(Woah oh weoh) that it’s bars and scars and guitars for me

Red Die Number Nine Baltimore, Maryland

Combining the raw energy/aggression of hardcore with the rhythm/power of hard rock. It's a rage fueled juggernaut steaming down the rails of chemical imbalance right into yer brain pan. And it rhymes.
